  This is classic territory that any American grade schooler knows: The Americans won the race for the moon. Well, it’s not as simple as that, the story is far more complex, and it genuinely is inspiring. Too bad that JFK didn’t live to see his vision realized.

It’s really a story that needs to be told, has been told, but people aren’t listening. Which
